Pipilotti Rist has created a total video environment, linking assorted video technologies, installation and music via a fictional Paris apartment, its occupant Himalaya Goldstein, and her body. The camera scans over, then pauses on details of the body projected above the white kitchen units, while in the living room, videos are projected out of sofas, over an old master, or on to the dining table, and photo furniture on a wall mingles with the real. If the individual elements are less captivating than the watery, maritime fantasy recently seen at the Swiss Centre, and there’s a hint of gimmickry, there’s no shortage of things to watch.
